Many landscapers/neighbors are out in full force mowing/trimming. Then again you have a couple clueless ones where their lawn is somewhat high already and by Monday w/the weekend rain the lawn will be a out of control train wreck. Mowing done. Just trimming/weed wack/blower and be done by 11-11:30am in the nick of time. 52F/Breezy/Birds chirping away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTA66 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I was just thinking if this were an impending snowstorm, they'd be calls of a bust already. I don't think the rain was supposed to get underway IMBY much before 1pm. 53F/DP 44F with incoming virga. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 Getting some light, so far non-measurable rain - enough to wet the sidewalk. Currently 53 with dp 46. Looks like a heavier blob is over lower south Jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Where was this pattern (note the PAC side) during the winter? Hopefully it is a function of the enso state and a sign if things for 6 months from now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 This storm wants to fringe me so hard. At least it's been a nice, quiet, rainy day, and I found some time to bake a couple of batches of bread! Hearing pretty much non-stop sirens for the past few hours, it seems like everyone completely forgot how to drive in the wet again. Reminds me a lot of SoCal when the rainy season starts up in the fall, actually. Anyway, .37" is hardly going to put a dent in our overall dry conditions up here, but at least it's not a complete deluge that just runs right off into the river. This will soak in a little bit. Forecast calls for rain pretty much through to tomorrow afternoon, so we shall see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stemwinder Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I'm happy that we are getting this soaking at last. Good luck, especially in PA, which missed most of the last event, such as it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted April 29, 2023 Author Share Posted April 29, 2023 Now up to 1.04" for the event so far IMBY today with a steady moderate rain and breezy in a typical nor'easter way. Plants getting a good soaking and it has helped get my monthly total to a more normal value (am now at 4.14" for the month so far).

Nothing to comment on as it has been pretty stagnant weather so far. I want to see some convective production with temps in the low 80's. Yes, this weekends rain will put in a moderate dent in our rainfall deficit but the base stream flows are down big time because of the lack of snow cover this past winter. We need weeks of this type of moderate rain to put a significant dent in the drought. The trees, grass and gardens are drinking big time right now as they green up but the groundwater levels are still falling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a nice respite, but we need more. Hopefully Sunday's event pans out in similar fashion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
